#302 - Chapter 302 Severus, Do You Want Magical Images?

Facing Peter's miserable gaze, Lupin's expression was somewhat lonely. His lips moved slightly, as if he had endless words to say.

How could he not feel that, among the four, James and Sirius were the closest.

But as a werewolf, he had always been a hated existence.

No one believed that he was a person who lived in darkness but yearned for the light.

Until he came to Hogwarts, when James and the others discovered his identity, he was not only not disgusted, but instead received the friendship he had always sought.

Although this friendship was not so pure, it was like sunshine in winter for him at the time.

It was because he cherished this hard-won friendship that Lupin would accompany them in their madness, and that he would turn a blind eye to James and Sirius's violations of school rules after becoming a prefect.

In a daze, he thought of a sentence Sebastian had said to him during his school days.

"Remus, you should be braver, especially when facing friendship. Sometimes, blindly indulging is not what a true friend should do."

Alas...

What's the use of distinguishing so clearly? It only increases troubles.

One must still learn to be deliberately ambiguous in life.

"Peter," Lupin said softly, "Don't say anymore, we are still friends after all."

"Friends!" Peter Pettigrew shrieked sharply, "Don't be naive, Remus."

"When I became a traitor, guess who they suspected first?"

"It's you! Just because you're a werewolf. That's also why the matter of changing the Secret-Keeper was kept from you, and why you were the only one of the four of us who didn't know James's address."

A trace of sadness flashed across Lupin's face: "Peter, the situation was tense at that time, everyone was in danger, it was inevitable that I was suspected."

Of course, he knew that he was the suspect at the beginning.

There was no way around it, who told him to be a werewolf, and werewolves in that era basically all joined the ranks of the Dark Lord.

Because of this, he had always consciously maintained a distant connection with everyone.

"Okay, it was because the situation was tense at the beginning, but what about when we were in school? Don't forget what Sirius did to Snape in the Shrieking Shack."

Professor Snape?

How did this matter involve him?

Harry and the others suddenly looked up at Snape, and found that his face was pale, and he looked like he was suppressing his anger.

"Remus, when Sirius used Snape's curiosity to lure him to the Shrieking Shack, wanting you to bite him or kill him after transforming into a werewolf, he never thought about your consequences."

"He didn't care whether you would collapse after returning to human form, let alone whether you would be caught and thrown into Azkaban."

"Oh my God!" Hearing this, Hermione exclaimed in shock, she covered her mouth, looking incredulous.

Ron also widened his eyes, he had only heard that the people of the Black family were crazy, but he never thought that the Black in front of him would be so crazy.

Harry felt a little dizzy. Having attended Auror training, he was very clear about the Ministry of Magic's attitude towards werewolves.

If Lupin had really bitten or killed Professor Snape in werewolf form, his best outcome would have been life imprisonment in Azkaban.

Considering the tense situation at the time, Lupin might have been executed directly without even a trial.

After all, werewolves could not enjoy the orthodox treatment of wizards, and life imprisonment was only for wizards.

And what about Professor Snape? For him, being bitten to death directly was already the best ending, after all, once he transformed into a werewolf, it would be worse than death.

Harry stared blankly at Sirius, his eyes full of incomprehension.

He was just a student at the time, how could he be so indifferent to life?

Also, what kind of hatred or grievance was there between his father James, Sirius, and Professor Snape?

How could it have developed to this point?

Didn't the professors in the school care?

Thinking of the professors in the school, Harry suddenly thought that Lupin had said that he was able to enter Hogwarts to study thanks to the help of Headmaster Dumbledore.

If a werewolf attack had really happened, would Headmaster Dumbledore be held accountable by the Ministry of Magic?

Would he regret recruiting Lupin into the school?

For a time, various chaotic thoughts were intertwined, making Harry's head ache.

Seeing the reactions of Harry and the others, Peter felt extremely happy. He wanted to make these children recognize Sirius's true face.

Anyway, he was about to be completely finished, and Sirius, that bastard, shouldn't think about getting away clean.

Sirius was a little flustered. He didn't care about his own image, but he was afraid that Harry would misunderstand James's image because of this.

"Harry, I did that thing back then, it was because Snape had been trying to expose Lupin's werewolf identity, so I wanted to teach Snape a lesson."

"Also, your father didn't know about it at first. On the contrary, after he found out about it, he took the initiative to save Snape, even though they were mortal enemies at the time."

So that's how it is...

Harry felt relieved, thinking that his father also had his shining points.

However, before he could be happy, he heard Peter Pettigrew shout again.

"Don't make people laugh, Sirius! Did James save Snape? He saved you, he saved Lupin."

"The only place he was better than you was that he still had reason and could judge the situation at the time."

"He knew that if he didn't step in to stop it, Snape would be finished, but you and Lupin would definitely be caught and thrown into Azkaban. He really had no choice."

"Oh, right, you certainly didn't care, anyway, the Black family had power and influence. As long as your family was willing to pay Galleons, you would definitely be able to escape the Ministry of Magic's trial."

"Hahahaha, this is reality!"

Hearing Peter's words, Harry fell into confusion again. He looked at Professor Snape's pale face, and then at Lupin's lonely face, and his whole person was completely plunged into depression and sadness.

He really wanted to know more details about his father, he wanted to know what kind of person his father was.

Perhaps he could only find a chance to ask Professor Swann for the answer to this question in the future.

At this moment, Sebastian stood up and gently patted Harry on the shoulder.

"Harry, don't think so much, these are the grievances of the previous generation, and have nothing to do with you."

Then, he waved his wand to lock up Peter Pettigrew, and at the same time released Sirius from the chains.

"Let's go, don't stand here, Headmaster Dumbledore is already waiting for us outside the Forbidden Forest."

"Say anything when we get out."

"Remus, you should stay in the Forbidden Forest first, and go back when it's dawn."

The group walked silently in the Forbidden Forest, each with a heavy heart.

Sebastian came to Snape's side and quietly asked in a voice that only two people could hear.

"Severus, I have a magical image of a certain big black dog here, a limited edition. Do you want it?"

Big black dog?

Snape frowned, not knowing what Sebastian was talking about.

After all, when he came to the Forbidden Forest, he had already missed the scene of Sirius transforming.

However, when he saw Sebastian's wink, he instantly understood.

So, Sirius was that big black dog.

Thinking of this, Snape narrowed his eyes slightly and said decisively.

"I must have it! No matter how much you charge, I want it."

"Also, sell me a Pensieve, I have some memories that need to be repeatedly observed."
